Context you provide

• {{audience_interest}}: The interests, background, or needs of the target audience.
• {{audience_type}}: The specific audience (e.g., age group, professional role).
• {{constraints}}: Any constraints like time frame, available resources, or curriculum requirements.

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Brainstorm a list of at least 10 potential topics that merge the subject area with the audience's interests.
3. For each topic, provide a brief explanation of why it is engaging and how it encourages critical thinking or innovation.
4. Prioritize topics that are current, relevant, and have potential for deep exploration.
5. Offer suggestions for subtopics or angles that could be developed into full lessons or modules.
6. Consider the constraints provided and note any topics that may require special resources or expertise.

Output format A numbered list of topics, each with a one-sentence description and a bullet point on its potential for engagement. Follow with a short section on possible subtopics or extensions.

Guardrails

• Do not suggest topics that are too broad or too narrow; aim for a balance.
• Avoid controversial or sensitive topics unless explicitly requested.
• Stay within the given subject area; do not drift into unrelated fields.
